@Alex ******

that’s your prerogative and I respect that

But it’s wrong and hateful to say

That ID has a purpose and a place plus it has your address on it with a recognized Thai ID number

So I will keep using it to spite you

You have a visa I would put down my Thai address

@Alex ******

the D/L…hospitals registration and forms, setting a phone plan, opening a Bank acct, checking into hotels

Everything is useful if you find a way to make it useful if not it will always be useless

One time I used it to get home in a taxi…I was off my head and forgot my address I handed it to the taxi and he took me home

@Alex ******

it helps out when doing things in Thailand

I just did it last week in bkk

Brought my country’s D/L all Thai residency documents and pink ID along with passport

Took the Thai Computer Based Course which was free and took 1 hour

Dr note (฿300), ฿300 for D/L

Total cost was ฿650 That’s with the BTS fare

Agent quoted me ฿10k to get the D/L

Location is the Chatuchak DMV, took 1 day

I’ve used it to check in for hotels, phone plans and get a Thai D/, open a bank acct

She could apply for a DTV visa that will cover her for 5 years until she can apply for the retirement visa

Just another option to have

There is no official limit on how many times you can stamp in/out of Thailand via air land or sea plus extensions of the visa exempt stamp

With that being said

You will eventually run into an I/O who will say No or give you a stern warning about your visa exemption log with no real visa

Haters will argue with me or the masses in here will say use an agent to get through the red tape at immigration checkpoints via border bounces and the Sotomor

But there is no official limit at all

@Fabio ***

if you’re only being tourist go for the METV

If you have the necessary ฿500k Baht required and the time to take a soft DTV course (cooking, Muay Thai etc) then go for the DTV…pro you get 5 years out of it

It’s up to you and what you want out of your time and visa

after the first sentence

You turned into a hypocrite

I stopped reading your fear mongering diatribe after the first sentence
